LJACOB WOOLF, of Burr Oak, in the conntyof S't-.Josephjand State'ofMichigan, have invented'a new and nsefullmprovement in Mechanical Morements, of which the following is a specification.

Nature-and Objects of `the lrrucnticm.

My invention relates, primarily, to the ymachinery described in my twopatents 'fof .October the `18th and November the 29th, 1870.

My present improvement 'consists in -a peculiar `ar rangement forconnecting and combining;` two 'of' the -machines described in myaforesaid patents, so that they may bc adapted to'act in unison bnt inopposite directions.

Description of the AccompanyingDrawing. Figure 1 is asectional-elevation ot' my combined apparatus, taken in the planeindicated by thellne :c :c in iig. 2.

- Figure 2 is a side elevation of' the Sallie.

'Geiwral Description.

A A are two standards, which may be secured to a common bed,.B', andeach support a stationary longitudinal shaft, G C', or a `single shaftmay extend from one standard to the other, as illustrated by'dottedlines in fig.Y 2.

I shall proceed to describe the machineas made with two separate shafts,Athe only diierence being that, with a continuons shaft, the levershereinafter described must be made short enough for their ends `to passthe saidshaft, as will be understood when their operation is explained.

The sleeves D D', wheels E E', cranks G G', eccentric annular weights HH', and levers I l rnay he constructed and arranged in each series asdescribed in my patent of November 29, 187 0; but the weights H H of therespective series are set cccentrically to the shaft, in oppositedirections, as clearly shown in Iig. 1, and the ends ofthe respectivelevers I and l are made with pins i and hooks t', or some equivalentmeans of adapting them-to interlock, as represented.

J J represent pulleys, to either or both of which driving-belts orbrakesmay be applied.

l Operation..

The dotted lincs` in Iig. landthe arrows 'adjacent thereto represent thenearly circular path described by the en d of each lever in therespective series when inopcra'tion. l

As the ends come together at a, the'pins z' pass into the hooks i',causing the levers to interlock, and they are thence carried downward ina straight vertical line to the point b, where they separate, and eachfollows its ow'n'orbit.

The effect upon the eccentric annular weights is as described in mypatents hereinbefore referred to.

The rotation of each is indicated by the arrow placed thereon in'fig. 1.

The wheels E E rotate in the direction indicated by the' arrow 'shown infnll lines in fig. 1,'and the wheels E E' in the opposite direction, asindicated by the dotted arrow.

Claim.

I claim as my invention- The combination ofthe two movements, running inopposite directions, with their levers interlocking automatically, inmanner substantially as described.
